GUARDIANS of LIBERTY from front page
dent and co-founder of Protect Student Health
Georgia, who is also a paralegal for the Child
& Parental Rights Campaign.
Leslie McPherson, one of the two co-foun
ders of the Guardians of Liberty (Carroll
County Commissioner Clint Chance is the
other co-founder) opened the
meeting by announcing she
was mnning for mayor of
Villa Rica, therefore resign
ing as the Ward 3 Villa Rica
Council member. McPherson
is one of four candidates who
qualified for the seat. Also in
the mnning are Incumbent
Mayor Gil McDougal, attor
ney Mac Pilgrim, and fire-
fighter/EMT Kendrick
Davis.
Jim Bennett was intro
duced as a candidate for
United States Georgia
Congressional District 3,
which includes Carroll
County, currently held by
Drew Ferguson. Bennett
spoke briefly on his plat
form, “I am not a ‘liberal
Republican’. In my responsibilities at Carlyle, I
never moved any jobs to China. That is a fact. I
am a Republican with backbone. I don’t mn
from anything. I will not mn away and hide
from social issues.
“We are losing the culture war. Ferguson is
horrible on social issues. I challenge you to
find where he has said anything about abortion.
He doesn’t say what he means on education. I
don’t want any child left behind. I want parents
to decide where their children go to school and
I want the money to follow the children. They
are your children, not the state’s children.
“I will not vote for an omnibus spending bill.
They are full of pork and earmarks. I will not
raise the debt ceiling. Drew Ferguson voted to
raise the debt ceiling 5 out of 6 times. I will not
do that.
“I am not going to be supported by the super
pacs. Drew Ferguson is. He has raised over
$600,000 the first half of
this year and not one penny
has come from the 3rd dis
trict. We need to put conser
vative republicans in office
in the 3rd district and I want
to be that guy!”
Jim Bennett has lived in
the 3rd District since he was
a toddler, he said, and cur
rently lives in the Bowdon
area. He was a police offi
cer for seven years and then
worked for Trintex/ Carlisle
Corporation for 21 years.
He has been retired since
2016. “I am unning for
many reasons. However,
I’m tired of being betrayed
and the mle of law must be
restored immediately. We
are currently living under
the mle of power and that must stop.”
Featured speaker Noelle Kahaian first spoke
to the Guardians of Liberty group two years
ago. She is president and co-founder of Protect
Student Health Georgia, a statewide coalition
of concerned parents and citizens formed to
protect the health and innocence of children in
school and the fundamental rights of parents to
direct the education of their children free from
harmful indoctrination. They are independent
of any political party, religious organization, or
political action committee and are a registered
501(c)(4) organization
Additionally, Kahaian is a Paralegal for the
Child & Parental Rights Campaign, a nonprofit
public-interest law firm founded to defend par
ent’s rights to shield their children from the
harms of gender identity ideology.
Kahaian opened her talk with the clear and
straightforward statement, “I do not support
transgenderism.”
She then spoke on public school systems
Comprehensive Sex-Ed (CES) curriculum
details, “There are problems in the schools.
Let’s begin by seeing if Carroll County Schools
are compliant with state law, which states that
all curriculum must be posted on their school
website including sex education.
“State law also says that the sex-ed curricu
lum should be picked primarily from non
teaching parents. Have any of you ever been
asked to be on this committee? No? Everything
should be available for review by everyone
who asks - and it is not!
“Sex-ed, by the way, is required by law, but I
think it belongs in the home. As a parent, you
can opt out of sex-ed if your child brings the
letter home for you to sign.”
Kahaian said the most important concept
about Comprehensive Sex-Ed to understand is
its foundation, “The root of CSE can be traced
to none other than the fraud bug scientist Dr.
Alfred Kinsey. His theory that children are’sex-
ual from birth’ was based on his participation
in the sexual abuse and torture of children as
young as five months old, calling it ‘research’.
Grooming children with sexualized materials
of Comprehensive Sex-Ed leaves them easy
targets for sexual abuse and trauma.”
A loophole in law allows obscene material in
both public and school libraries, she said.
“Every child in Georgia deserves a safe class
room and library free of obscenity. Providing
sexually explicit materials in schools and
